Speaking of the restoration of the kingdom to Israel, Jesus said it is not for us to know the times nor seasons.
They knew it was the time to receive the Holy Spirit - for the Lord had told them to wait for it at Jerusalem. So the Holy Spirit was not the restoration.
They also knew an approximate timeframe for the destruction of the Temple and of Jerusalem - for they had Daniel's and Jesus' stated timeframe for that. So the replacement of the polity of Israel in AD70 was not the restoration.
Because no-one was to know the timing for that!
The restoration really is the second coming. No-one knows when it will be. Only the true Israel shall see it, with Gentile believers also, without distinction.
